Just a thought - wonder if some pro-gay group would do this to try and make Christians look bad ...

They don't need to.
Any group of people will contain X number of self righteous azzholes.

It is actually a family business pretending to be a church. Family are lawyers and they live off law suits they win off people infringing on their rights to demonstrate. So they go around spewing hate and raking in the money. Was in the news the other day.

OK, The same type of scam has also made rich men of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
Can we get something similar going ? ::)

I could not sleep at night pulling that shit.
If all I did was go around looking for ADA violations and sueing over them, I could make 100k a year easy working part time. I could not sleep at night if I did that.

TAB, you need to put it into perspective, If you screw over someone who is honestly trying to do their best you should feel guilty.
If you do the same thing to some SOB who deserves it ( Companies that knowingly employ illegals come to mind ) all I have to say is "sweet dreams".
Also, how would you feel if you were one of the victims of the violations ?
I seem to remember some one wanting to lynch some one for "tagging" his vehicle.

Its still a bad way to make a living, but its how Jesse justifies it. He thinks, maybe correctly, "These are racist SOBS and they won't get better unless someone makes them. Why not me? And if I get paid, its still for a good cause". I'm not even sure he's wrong all the time. Still, its not the way it ought to work. ADA law suits? There was the "rent-a-gimp" trade in Fl. for a while. Basically a lawyer would hire a guy in a chair and sue all the older buildings he couldn't access. Pure BS.
On the flip side? If it were someone who could have easily made them compliant and didn't, or who hired illegals? Why not sue them? There are certain federal laws that rely on private sector enforcement. No criminal penalties, they just leave you open to law suits if you don't comply. The idea is they don't create a bureacracy and and there are no penalties until someone complains and can show they were injured. In theory, I don't have a problem with this as it saves tax dollars and doesn't add another layer of government. It is a slippery slope though. :-\

thats why I don't do that type of thing. I'm just saying I could. Reality, just about any of us could do it if they studied the laws and had a lawyer as partner to do the sueing.
I really don't care how other biz owners run thier biz. As long as they are not out to screw me or some one I know, I could careless. If you try to screw me I will go after you. I think the fact that you can sue if they have a violation, they have no chance to fix it. At the very least you should have X ammount of time to fix it or make arrangements to have it fixed.

ADA has come to mean if you don't have ramps you are screwed, that's why I didn't use it as my example.
On the other hand we all agree that with out employers screwing Americans out of jobs for cheaper labor we would still own our Southern border .
If I could sue every one who I saw reading their mail, or newspaper, or texting while they were driving, I would clean them out and sleep like a baby

ADA is alot more then that tom. Alot more.
greed is good, unchecked greed is bad. by unchecked I mean profit at any cost, reguardless of what laws you break and who you hurt.

"at any cost" or "the ends justify the means" are ALWAYS BAD, even if the goal was good.

I tried to reply last night but I must have hit a wrong key since it isn't here.
TAB, I'm aware of that, since I have been doing some research on it lately, but most people only hear of it when some one gets sued for not having ramps and the like.
No one is saying any thing about breaking any laws or doing anything underhanded, simply sticking it to pricks who deserve it.
If I could sue every one I saw reading newspapers or mail, or texting , while driving down city streets I would clean them out, leave them starving in their mortgaged cardboard box, and sleep like a baby that night.

They call it a drive by lawsuit. You drive by, say you couldn't get to thier place of biz, the collect the check. normally is 3-5k to go away.
Thats why ramps and parking places are the most popular. you never have to go in, going in then saying you couldn't do X becuase of Y is alot harder to prove in court. Its also a crime to go into a place of biz to look for violations for the purpose of sueing the owners.
